What’s The Longmonster?!

It’s a late-night style talk show featuring local folks sharing what they do, how they do it, and what it means to be doing it here in dear old Colorado.

The Featured Guests

We’ll chat with Elaine Waterman about the Firehouse Arts Center, and with archaeologist Marilyn Martorano and composer Michael Udow who will tell us about some ancient musical instruments discovered nearby and how they’re being featured in an upcoming performance by the Longmont Symphony Orchestra.

JayCee Beyale is Visual Arts Co-Curator at Boulder’s Dairy Arts Center and founding member of the Creative Nations Collective. He grew up in the Four Corners area of New Mexico, and received his BFA in printmaking from the University of New Mexico. He currently resides in Westminster, but travels often participates in collaborative murals and other art projects with fellow organizations and artists.

JayCee’s connection to his aboriginal culture is heavily influenced by his involvement in the arts; his personal identity and background have always been present in his work because he is proud of who he is and where he comes from. His career as an artist started when he discovered street art and graffiti. He is deeply influenced by music, and is certain that without music, his art would not exist. Combining traditional indigenous ideologies and his personal Buddhist practice, JayCee is always striving to emphasize the concepts and convictions in his art. Using a combination of spray paints and acrylics, he hopes to share his beliefs by celebrating the fusion of technology and Indigenous culture in his work. JayCee aspires to illustrate the Laws of Movement, Unity and Impermanence in his work.

Hosted by the Manager of the Stewart Auditorium, Justin Veach, and featuring The Longmonster House Band led by Antonio Lopez.
